I downloaded the Palliser omnibus that HarryT provided, but even the first novel in that series (Can You Forgive Her?) is over 900 pages. Not ready to tackle a book of that length at the moment.

I'd suggest trying the Barsetshire series first - The Warden or Barchester Towers are fairly short (if I remember arightly) - and quite readable.
